Tommy McInally was a star of Celtic's team of the 1920s. He was a tremendous player with pace, trickery, passing ability and a cannball shot - yet his record of only one Scottish Cup medal, two Scottish League medals and two Scottish caps was a profoundly disappointing one for a man of his talent. This is a lacking record which was mainly due to Tommy's self-destructive tendencies. This book deals with his two spells at Celtic - the team that he loved - and his sojourns at Third Lanark and Sunderland before he went on his travels and died in obscurity in 1955. He has w been dead for over fifty years, but questions still remain about Celtic's Bad Bhoy - 'the boy wonder', who had the potential to have been the greatest player of them all.
